Mayor end Council meeting at
which the operation and status
of the RocfcvfQe Teen Center
were AKWMd As a result of
later comments made in the
Sentinel, the Teen Center Cocm
efi and Director, Mr. Lazxtm.
found It necessary to defend
the Center's policy. As junior*
of Richard Montgomery try
vc heed In the program. we want
to point out that it waa our de
sire to give sn earnest evalu
ation and to offer constructive
Ideas during our evening in of
flee. The “Youth City” articles
In the Sentinel misconstrued
several points, and we feel it
our duty to clarify our inten
tions.
Our Mayor and Council waa
elected under the direction of
the City Clerk, Mrs. Homeric,
at the end of our two-day ses
sion. In Jointly planning the
meeting's agenda, we were a
bit hesitant as to the choice of
suitable topics for discussion by
flight school students. In view
of the experience of the past
two days, we decided on an
evaluation of the Mayor and
Council compensation 'with
the Idea of consulting authori
ties on the subject); discussion
of the Teen Center, a subject
with which we are ail familiar;
and the possibility of expand
ing the Youth City program,
as we an felt ft worthwhile.
I At the meeting, municipal of
ficials expressed the fact that
they were most interested In
hearing the opinion of young
Jtockvtilians on the subject of ;
the Teen Center. This is the
main reason that we dwelt *
heavily on it. We were ques
honed concerning the adequacy 1

meet our needs, the reported
drop-out in active membership,
the reason for this drop-out, our
personal enjoyment of the
Center, and feasible improve
ments we might suggest to in
crease Interest.
The dtsensaion that followed
revealed that the Teen Center
could be improved, as all things
can. We felt that the Teen
Center was unfortunately in the
position of trying to make
amends for a bad start. It is
still suffering the pangs of this
unfortunate beginning. No mat
ter how good and conscientious
the present direction. It will
take a long time to heal the
scars of past mistakes.
"O K " we continued, “many
be this discourages some peo
ple from attending. What are
some of the other reasons for
the slack-off in interest?”
"Number one it is unreal
istic to expect 100 per cent of
Rockville’s young people to be
active members. Some students
work on weekends; others are
loaded with homework; still
others prefer to devote their
precious spare time to a school
activity. Those with cars pre
fer not to stick so close to home.
Some have found that they
‘don’t fit in-’ This Is not an
unusual situation in our so
ciety. Most people seem to
travel in particular interest
groups. Maybe it takes a par
ticular type of person to enjoy
the Teen Center."
What about the atmosphere,
the building itself?
"Well, maybe It could be
made more homey,” we felt
There’s that glass wall with
out any curtains. People out
side look in on you like you’re
caged animals. If the girls
could make some curtains, the
room would have a more dub-
Hke atmosphere. Then there Is
the upper level by the main en
trance. ‘All the world's a
stage.’ As you enter the Teen
Center, the upper level is the
| stage, and there on the danc
j Ing level is all the world to
stare at you. It’s rather a

weird feeling especially to
young people somewhat ill at
ease among their peers. The
Teen Center should have furni
ture arranged in a friendly
circle. A closer coordination
between school and Center ac-:
Uvtttes would prevent conflicts
and increase attendance:"
By this time, nearly every
one waa offering suggestions 1
based on Ms own experiences.
Constructive criticism came
from all sides. By the time w*
were ready to move on to the
next item of business, we had
decided that the Teen Center
program had come a long way.i
that it still had a long way to
go, and that we as citizens had
a duty and responsibility to of f
fer our support in helping make
the program a success.
We have since met with Mr.
Lazum, the Teen Center Di
rector, and the Teen Council.
The outcome of this meeting
was a mutual exchange of idea*
and even a greater interest on
the part of the Youth City par
tid pants.
We, the participants in this
year's Youth City • program,
found the two-day Youth City
program a valuable learning ex
perience. The program gave us
a broad overview of the city's
operations and we recommend
Youth City be expanded to give
more student* an opportunity
to participate.
